It has been revealed in a new report that Google has changed its logo to electromagnetic waves for today. As per the report, the same has been done by the company in order to pay tribute to the German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz on his birthday.

According to the findings of the report, Heinrich, who was the first man to receive as well as broadcast radio waves during late 1880s, has his 155th birth anniversary today, February 22. He was born in the year 1857 in Hamburg and had achieved his PHD degree on electromagnetic induction in rotating spheres from the University of Berlin.

It is being said that he had died at an early age of 36 in the year 1894 on New Year's Eve. The report has found that the experiment made by him led to the development of television, radar and radio. To conduct the experiment, Hertz had used two rods, of which one was used as a receiver while the other was used as a spark gap as the receiving antennae.

He, thus, concluded after finding that a spark jumped when the waves were picked up that signals featured all those properties as that of electromagnetic waves. It is also said that the unit of frequency of a radio wave is named as hertz (one cycle per second) in the honour of the German physicist. Along with it, it was also proved by the physicist via his experiment that the velocity of radio waves was the same as that of light.

As per the report, Google has transformed its logo in his honour using its logo’s four colours i. e. blue, red, yellow and green, showing waves in a relatively simpler animated GIF image.
